Perry said A&M’s goal of
being a top-10 public universi
ty isn’t based on particular
rankings or measures. Rather,
it aims to bring the
University’s reputation to a sta
tus alongside other highly
respected schools.
“When you challenge some
one to name the top 10 or 15
schools, that list would vary
from person to person,” he said.

According to U.S. News’ recommendation,
prospective students should not rely solely on sta
tistics or rankings. Students should use college
visits, interviews and their own intuition in addi
tion to rankings to aid in their
decision on a school, it says.
“When people decide to
apply to Texas A&M. it should
be because they realize they
can reach their goals here,"
Perry said.

ranking’s indicators are bundled
into seven categories: assess

institutions, retention of stu

selectivity, financial resources,
alumni giving and “graduation
